    Belkin Print Server F1UP0001 work on HP-895Cse?

    Has anyone actually been able to get a HP-895Cse to work properly using a Belkin Wireless Print Server model #F1UP0001? I have tried three other network print servers unsucessfully with this printer, so before I spend $100+ to try this Belkin model, I would like some feedback from an actual...

    Print Server for HP Deskjet 895Cse

    In case anyone is interested the HP Deskjet 895Cse will NOT work with either the D-Link DPR-1260, OR the NETGEAR miniprint PS121. I finally opened the DPR-1260 thinking it would work, but no. Will return.

    Print Server for HP Deskjet 895Cse

    Does anyone know of a low cost (<$50) print server that WORKs for this printer, and can be plugged into my LAN (RJ45). Wireless is also an option since I have an access point in my router. I have tried Netgear Miniprint PS121 and that would not work (sometimes ok with text, other times not -...

    Firewire Video Camera detection is intermittent

    Does anyone know why both of my video cameras will no longer be recognized upon plugging into firewire and powering up? It used to work just fine. Since both cameras work the same way I concluded it is not the fault of the cameras. I had two firewire cords and so purchased a brand new...

    PSU Spec Ver 2.0 vs 2.2

    I have purchased a Thermaltake Purepower 500W power supply, which states that it is a ver 2.0. Many other PSU models are stated as ver 2.2. Have I purchased something that is, or will quickly be, out of date? I questioned the sales guy at Frys, but they assured me I have a good up-to-date...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    Agreed - the TX2 card must not be capable even though in 2003 WD provided it "as the solution to the 137Gb barrier"!! If its BIOS needs updating I have no clue how to get at it. Upon bootup it always displays the BIOS verison of the Promise/SIIG/SiS Ultra TX2 card. Inside windows XP there is...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    I was able to recover the missing 58Gb after installing it temporaily as the slave on the primary IDE channel. I formatted that unallocated partion and re-installed the drive on the SIIG TX2 PCI ATA card. Now when windows XP opens up it is slow as a snail and I have to walk away and come back...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    Hi blakey2 (MIS) How does the BIOS report the size of the drive? The BIOS does not see the 3rd drive (I think because it is connected to the PCI Ultra SIIG card - the card perhaps not seen during BIOS bootup???) if you open up disk management - run -> mmc -> add template -> add template ->...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    I could try the 3rd PATA, but in the manual it says it is for a RAID combined PATA/SATA set up. I don't understand RAID enough and do not know which version I would want anyway, so have stayed away from connecting that up. Think you need to use an ASUS utility to configure the use of that PATA...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    This PC already has a functioning C; drive of 40Gb and a secondary drive of 250Gb which is recognized properly and formatted to NTFS. I would have to assume that Mobo BIOS and Win XP Home SP2 both recognize 48 bit LBA. Why is only the new 200Gb drive stuck on 137GB? Since it was purchased...

    WD 200 Gb HD only displays 137Gb

    How could I have gotten this HD installed incorrectly so as to not work over the 137Gb barrier? I purchased it early 2000s before Win XP would work with large Gb drives and WD included a SIIG Ultra ATA TX2 PCI card with the retail boxed 200Gb HD. NOW I am moving it to another PC and realize it...

    Missing Folders Hold huge files

    Sorry for this post - the answer was so obvious I couldn't see it. 12.8Gb were not in any folder just at the "Temp" root as separate files. Does anyone know what NVE[xx].tmp" files are? They seem to be numbered in the xx field randomly, perhaps hexidecimal?

    Missing Folders Hold huge files

    How can I have the following situation with folder options "show hidden files" turned on and "hide protecting operating systms" turned off? There are gigabytes missing and I would like to clean it up but don't have a clue how to find them. The sum of all below the "Temp" folder don't exceed...

    Gigabit Switch vs router

    I would setup the 2 1000 speed computers on the Giga switch then tie in that switch to the Router" Exactly what I did with a noticable improvement in transfer speed. WORKS GREAT! Many thanks to Wahnula and Firefolfrl.
